Customer-specific precision at the international airport with Nerak CVC

The airport is one of the world’s most important air traffic hubs, handling enormous volumes of baggage daily from holiday and business travelers as well as transit passengers. To ensure that every piece of baggage reaches its destination quickly, reliably, and intact, the operator relies on state-of-the-art, highly automated conveying technology. In one of the major terminal areas, over 50 Nerak vertical conveyors are in operation.

The Challenge

Vertical baggage transport across multiple levels with minimal space requirements

In the baggage logistics of an international airport, maximum speed, precision, and operational reliability are crucial. Particularly challenging were:

  • space-saving vertical connection of different levels within tightly structured terminal architectures
  • safe handling of baggage of varying sizes and weights
  • 24/7 continuous operation under maximum load
  • minimal maintenance to avoid downtime
  • integration into existing tray or baggage transport systems without operational interruptions

Conventional conveying systems quickly reach their limits here – especially when combining height, speed, and spatial constraints.

The Solution

Nerak Continuous Vertical Conveyors – custom platforms exclusively for this airport

Features of the system:

  • compact design, ideal for narrow shafts and existing terminal structures
  • jolt-free transfers for gentle handling
  • High performance in continuous operation, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year

Unique, customer-specific platforms:

For this airport, specially manufactured platforms were developed and are used exclusively on site. They are precisely tailored to the requirements of tray transport and enable:

  • handling of various tray formats
  • transport of variable baggage sizes
  • adaptation to the speed profiles of the overall system
  • exact transfer heights to adjacent conveyor lines

These customised platforms ensure precise, safe, and high-performance interaction with the existing sorting and transport lines – without additional modifications or adjustments to the adjoining systems.

Key benefits

  • Maximum space efficiency thanks to slim, modular design
  • Reliable 24/7 operation under extreme loads
  • High performance even during peak volumes
  • Gentle transport for maximum baggage safety
  • Scalable integration into new or existing terminal areas
  • Low-maintenance technology with durable rubber block chain
  • Exclusively customer-specific platforms, used only at this airport, for tray and baggage systems
